HG COLLECTION IN FOCUS

Join Dr. Samantha Happé on the last Thursday of each month at 12pm for an intimate 30-minute curator’s talk.

Every month, a different work from a current exhibition will be explored, offering insights into its history, context, and significance within the collection.

JUNE: Sandby and the Picturesque Landscape
Thursday 25 June, 12 PM

Explore how Paul Sandby shaped landscape through Caesar’s Tower and part of Warwick Tower from the Island (1801), a major watercolour in the Hamilton Gallery collection. This talk examines Sandby’s compositional methods and considers a possible precursor work now held by the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Tickets available at reception on the day or via Eventbrite.
